The SOUL NAVE integrates spiritual philosophy with geometric design. Located in a peaceful environment ideal for meditation, the building serves as a portal for exploring universal energy. The design is based on the concept of fractalization, aiming to elevate consciousness by channeling information through its complex shapes.

Design Concept
-
The form of the SOUL NAVE takes inspiration from pyramid structures, which have long been associated with higher consciousness. By using geometric shapes, the design emphasizes the connection between individual experiences and universal knowledge. Users are invited to meditate and engage in self-discovery through the activation of the merkaba, facilitating a deeper connection to their inner selves.



Materiality
-
Material choice plays an important role in the project. The exterior features NZ Redwood timber cladding protected by a black tint, enhancing its durability and visual quality. The use of local sheep wool insulation reflects a commitment to sustainability while improving energy efficiency. Additionally, plant-based materials supplement the wooden components, aligning the building with environmentally friendly practices.



Spatial Configuration
-
The design has a modular layout consisting of 64 equilateral triangles arranged within its triangular faces, allowing for efficient construction. Each triangle can be developed separately, contributing to a unified design that performs well functionally. The outward-opening windows invite natural light inside, creating an atmosphere conducive to reflection and meditation. These windows also establish visual connections with the outside world, merging the interior and exterior environments.



Collective Experience
-
The SOUL NAVE emphasizes group engagement with its tetrahedral seating arrangement, which is designed to enhance the collective meditation experience. This configuration activates individual merkabas and fosters shared spiritual journeys, promoting a sense of community among participants. The layout is central to the design's purpose, guiding energy flow within the space and fostering a harmonious environment for exploration and connection.


A notable design detail involves the interplay of light and shadow created by the triangular surfaces, which adds a spiritual quality to the interior space.
